Roof inspection — Brussels-Capital Region

Roof leak detection in Ixelles

Ixelles is characterised by a mix of high-density buildings and flat roofs extending upwards: a stain in a ground-floor living room may originate from a terrace several storeys above. An investigation is carried out to assess the possible causes before any repairs are undertaken.

  • Targeted assessment
  • Photos and report
  • Service subject to availability

Access and preparation in Ixelles

Arrange access to the courtyard, contact the caretaker and take photos from a window overlooking the roof. Indicate whether the damp is persistent or caused solely by rain.

EPDM or roofing membranes, skylight flashings and zinc cornices; water drainage along masonry walls, which is common in terraced properties.

How Dr Roof handles your request

  1. We receive your description, photos and municipality (telephone reception 24/7; staff normally available 09:00–16:00, with AI-assisted reception outside those hours).
  2. We assess the requested priority (express 24 hours, urgent 48 hours or standard 72 hours), always subject to confirmation.
  3. We schedule a visit when the situation, access and weather conditions allow.
  4. We assess the situation on site, apply damage-limitation measures or temporary covering when appropriate, then recommend a lasting repair.

Telephone reception: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Staff are normally available from 09:00 to 16:00. Outside those hours, AI-assisted telephone reception can collect initial information and direct your request.

How the service call works

  1. Assessment

    Analysis on site or remotely, depending on the situation: location, condition of the surfaces and causes of water ingress.

  2. Repair or protection

    Targeted work or temporary measures when access, weather and safety conditions allow.

  3. Report and recommendations

    A summary of findings, useful photos and priorities for what comes next — without any promise of overall watertightness.

Clear follow-up after the service call

When the situation allows, you receive a structured summary covering the findings, work completed or temporary measures, and recommendations for what comes next.

  • Before-and-after photos
  • Assessment and work completed
  • Priority recommendations
  • A useful follow-up document

Important limitations

  • There is no guarantee that the source of the leak will be identified during the first visit, particularly if the leak is intermittent.
  • A non-destructive inspection may not be sufficient; a localised opening or a further assessment may be recommended.
  • A diagnosis must be carried out before a repair is chosen; Dr Roof does not promise to use any specific equipment (such as drones, thermal imaging cameras or tracer gas) that has not been confirmed in your case file.
  • Appointment times are subject to confirmation, depending on availability, access and weather conditions.
